First of all, it's been a while! I missed some of you! Well, okay. I missed you all. Anyways -

I came across a snare today that I'm considering picking up. 1950's Ludwig WFL Jazz Festival in black pearl. The fact that I can't seem to find any online is a little frustrating but also could say something about how rare it is. The pricetag is $400. Sales guy is a friend of mine up at GC, immediately says I can have it for $350, if I go back I'll offer $300 right there, and I'll probably end up out the door around $325.

- There is a half inch crack on the bottom hoop.
- The hardware all could use a polishing, but I don't mind that. There is no pitting, and the tension rods tune SO smooth. Like, I was impressed. It was sweet.

I'd love to hear what y'all have to say!
